There Are Many Points That
Need Clearing: Up.
WHERE IS NAUO SAHIB?
Vw Questions IIcv been More De
bated Than the Location of the
Wonderful Trtwv.rc Land of Ophlr
Extraordinary Disappearance of
t'ie Ten Tribes Lost Atlanta.
')r. Carl Peters lias been explor
? -.; the wonderful mines left, by some
r ulent race In Muehonaiand. Here
i -:i huge shafts of disused gold
m.:ies, great walls of gigantic stones,
and hills terraced for irrigation, hun
dreds of feet up the valleys. The
German explorer declares that this la
the original land of Ophlr, whence
came the treasures of the temple at
Jerusalem, and no less an authority
than Rider Haggard shares the same
view.
Few questions have been more de
bated than the location of this
treasure land. Many who are wnll
nuallf.p-l to Jude, put the land of
Ophlr In India. A resident in the
Wynaal In Southern India, recently
wrote to a London morning paper
Baying that he emphatically differed
from Dr. Peters. Having washed
gold In the. rivers, dug silver on IU
hills, huntel elephants In Its forests,
and captured apes and peacocks in
the same locality, he was perfectly
certain of the Identity of the Vynad
with b'olomon's Land of Or-hir.
The lost continent of Atlantis ha?
been held to be the location of the
Garden of Kden. AtlnntU In itself
Is one of the greatest vterlui
Known to the historian, i.vrry rae
that lives around the Meiiierranean
held the belief that somewhere ro
the west of the Flllara of Morciles
(Gibraltar) there existed a vast Is
land In the ocean. Plato mentions
It as having been engulfed by the
waves nine thousand years before
his time. The extraordinary simi
larity between the remains found In
the peninsula of Yucatan in Central
America, with those so well known
In Egypt lends weight to the tradi
tion. It is supposed that both the
Egyptians and the ancient people
which preceded the Aztecs of Mexico
were desceneded from a race which
once inhabited Atlantis.
Geological researches prove that
-h' an Atlantic continent did once
ally exist, and that the canary
.tn-'.s are Its remains. But the
ologists say that this continent
rlshed In Tertiary times, and can
ot, therefore, been the home of clvi
;:zed man. It Is possible that fresh
dredging in the bottom of the At
lantic on the site of the lost conti
nent may throw more light on the
vexed question, upon which there al
ready exists over a dozen different
volumes. Although it Is proba
bly certain that the Tower of Babel
stood somewhere near the present
ruins of the city of Babylon, Its act
ual site it quite uncertain. Some
say it is the Blrs Nlmroud, a great
pile whose remains still rise 150
feet aobve the plain. Sir Henry
Rawilnson found that this consisted
of seven stages of brickwork, all
of different colors. Others put the
tower at Am ran, some ten miles
away; and there are two or three
other possible sites.
Britain has her mysteries. Who
built that silent stone circle at Stono
henge is one of them. Its origin has
been attributed to the Belgae, the
Phoenicians, the Druids, the Danes
and the Saxons. Some have said
that it was erected to commemorate
the treacherous murder of the Brit
ish chiefs by Hengist. It has been
called a temple of the Sun, a shrine
of Buddha, a center of serpent wor
ship, and a calendar in stone. Lord
Avebury assigns it to the bronze age.
Recent searches go to prove Its age ia
enormous. Long before Solomon's
temple was built it Is probable that
tne double circle of Sarsen stones
stood dim and silent in the center of
Salisbury Plain, a monument to some
forgotten chieftain whose name and
race perished thousands of years ago.
Arthur's Seat, Arthur's Oven, and
Arthur's Head commemorate the
name of one whom we are fond of
considering the first of our great
British monarchs. But did King Ar.
thur ever exist at all is a question
that has lately been troubling the
heads of historians and antiquarians.
The Saxon chronicle, however, nev
er mentions him at all. He is claim
ed as a prince by countries so far
apart as Cornwall, Brittany, Wales,
Cumberland and the lowlands of
Scotland. The stories of the Round
Table, of the wizard Merlin, are rom
ances pure and simple. It seems
rery likely that Arthur, too, was a
mere legendary personage.
To come down to more recent
times no one has ever solved the
mystery of the disappearance of
Nana Sahib. This cruel scoundrel
was the instigator of the horrible
massacres of English womea and
children. He escaped into Neyaul.
There It has been said that ae was
killed by a mutineer. Bat nothing
is known for certain about bU end,
and lees than ten yean ago It was
said that, at the age of over eewenty,
he was etui alive, leading a her m, It

to the foreign envoys when they

In the year 168. It is a fine build

of the Journey feel quite as unfa

The apanese are not fond of rain.
and during a shower the streets are

who are obliged to wander forth in

large paper hats and carry over them

Noble Houses Are Dying Out.
Munich, Bavaria. Professor von
liruber of tho University of Munich,
has collected some tell-tale statistics
of the decline of noble and patrlcaa
lamllles, which ho secured by Inves
tigating the history of no less thaa
twenty thousand German and Aus
trian noble bouses. He has found
that only 68 of the 70,000 families
existed longer than 600 years.
"In England." he says, "but three
of the ancient ducal houses survive,
and only eleven of the old-time fami
lies of earls.
"In Sweden 76 per cent of the no
